Endace DAG card

[Michele Sciuto <m.sciuto () dist unige it>]

Hi,
I'm using a DAG 4.3GE card to capture traffic and I just have to clarify 
some points.

Since I need the acquired data in libpcap format, I was wondering if it 
would be better to use dagsnap followed by dagconvert or, alternatively, 
tcpdump with the dag patch. Does somebody know which is the best choice, 
considering performance?

And again, so far I can see the card as /dev/dag0 and I just used 
dagsnap to capture data. Somehow, is it possible to see the dag 
interface with ifconfig (I mean configuring it in 
/etc/network/interfaces), in order to use netstat to check the counters?

Cheers,
